  • Résumé

  • As of November 14, 2024, Lake Mead is offering some exciting fishing opportunities, despite its current low water level, which is 167.80 feet below the full pool.

    ### Weather and Time
    Today, you can expect a sunny day with mild temperatures, perfect for a day out on the water. Sunrise was at 6:29 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM. There are no significant tidal changes to worry about on Lake Mead, as it is a freshwater lake.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been robust, especially for striped bass and catfish. Yesterday, boating anglers found success at the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area, where catfish and striped bass were biting well on cut anchovies[3].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Recent reports indicate that striped bass are active around dawn and dusk, with some anglers catching bass weighing up to 16 pounds in recent tournaments[4]. Catfish, including flathead catfish, have also been caught in decent numbers. Rainbow trout are another option, particularly around Willow Beach where they are regularly stocked[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, reaction baits and cut anchovies have been effective. Black bass are being taken on reaction baits as well. Catfish are biting on cut anchovies and other traditional catfish baits.

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the Hemenway Fishing Pier near Boulder Beach or the Willow Beach Fishing Pier on Lake Mohave. Boating anglers have also found success in the cove entrances in the Vegas Wash area. Another good spot is around Katherine Landing, although be aware that the fishing pier there was awaiting repairs as of 2020[1].

    ### Tips
    Fishing is allowed 24 hours a day from watercraft, and the early morning and early evening hours are often the best times to catch bass and catfish. Make sure to avoid areas marked as no-fishing zones, such as around the hatcheries and immediately below and above Hoover Dam[1].

    Overall, Lake Mead is providing a great fishing experience despite the low water levels, and with the right lures and bait, you can have a successful day on the water.
